Price Target:
538.00p
â–²(7.76% Upside)
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (weaker profitability and declining free cash flow despite solid operating cash generation) and a strong but potentially overextended technical uptrend. The latest earnings call was supportive with improved marketing guidance, cost savings, and shareholder returns, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and only a modest dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Diversified integrated business model
Glencore’s integrated trading and production across metals, energy and agriculture provides durable revenue diversification. Vertical integration and global logistics reduce single-commodity exposure, support stable fee and trading income, and preserve optionality through commodity cycles.
Robust operating cash generation
Consistently strong operating cash flow underpins long-term financial flexibility. Robust OCF enables capex funding, debt reduction and shareholder returns even when net income is volatile, supporting survivability and strategic investments across cycles.
Successful M&A and marketing resilience
The EVR contribution evidences effective M&A integration and adds recurring industrial earnings. Combined with resilient marketing EBIT, these scale and diversification benefits strengthen structural EBITDA generation and improve resilience versus pure-mining peers.
Negative Factors
Declining profitability and margins
Sustained margin deterioration reduces internal capital for reinvestment and weakens returns on invested capital. Lower gross and net margins pressure long-term competitiveness and ROE, complicating sustained shareholder returns and reinvestment without structural cost fixes.
Declining free cash flow
A large drop in FCF constrains the company’s ability to fund growth, pay dividends, and reduce debt without asset sales. Persistent FCF weakness increases sensitivity to commodity swings and limits room to absorb capital or operational setbacks over the medium term.
Major asset closure and environmental liabilities
Closing Canada’s largest copper smelter indicates material asset loss, potential remediation costs and supply-chain disruption. Environmental capex and regulatory constraints can permanently reduce processing capacity and raise long-term operating costs and project execution risk.

Glencore Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Mixed fundamentals: modest revenue growth but weakening margins and a negative net margin in 2024. Balance sheet leverage is manageable yet rising (debt-to-equity 0.94) with negative ROE, while cash generation is solid at the operating level but free cash flow declined materially (-32.15%).
Income Statement
60
Neutral
Glencore's income statement reflects a volatile performance with significant fluctuations in revenue and profitability. The gross profit margin has decreased over the years, falling to 2.88% in 2024 from 4.95% in 2023. The net profit margin turned negative in 2024 at -0.71%, a decline from 1.96% in 2023, indicating profitability challenges. Revenue growth from 2023 to 2024 was modest at 6.01%, but this follows a substantial decline from 2022. Despite a positive EBITDA margin of 3.69% in 2024, the absence of EBIT highlights operational challenges.
Balance Sheet
70
Positive
The balance sheet indicates a stable equity base with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.94 in 2024, which is manageable but has increased from previous years. The equity ratio stands at 31.17%, down from 35.17% in 2023, suggesting increased leverage. Return on equity turned negative in 2024 at -4.02%, reflecting profitability issues.

The operating cash flow to net income ratio is 6.15 in 2024, indicating strong operating cash flows relative to net income, despite the latter being negative. The free cash flow to net income ratio is -2.72, highlighting cash flow challenges. Overall, the company maintains robust operating cash generation, but declining free cash flow growth and negative net income are concerning.

Glencore Delivers 2025 Output Within Guidance as Copper Strategy and DRC Quotas Reshape Portfolio
Positive
Jan 29, 2026

Glencore reported that for 2025 it delivered production for its key commodities within guidance for a second consecutive year, underlining the benefits of its simplified operating structure, even as full-year own-sourced copper output fell 11% to 851,600 tonnes due to lower grades and mine sequencing at several South American assets. The group nonetheless saw a strong second-half copper rebound, higher zinc and steelmaking coal volumes, and stable energy coal output, supported by grade improvements and the contribution from its Elk Valley Resources acquisition, while cobalt production was deliberately reduced and subordinated to copper in the Democratic Republic of Congo amid new export quota rules, which are expected to keep cobalt sales constrained but allow prioritisation of copper volumes. Management reiterated its ambition, backed by newly reported resource additions at key Latin American copper projects, to grow into one of the world’s largest copper producers over the next decade, and guided that 2025 Marketing Adjusted EBIT will land around the midpoint of its upgraded long-term range, signalling resilient trading earnings despite softer realised coal prices and higher copper unit costs linked to the absence of DRC cobalt by-product sales.

The company stressed there is no certainty that any transaction will be agreed, nor clarity yet on its possible terms or structure, though the UK Takeover Code imposes a deadline of 5 February 2026 for Rio Tinto to either announce a firm offer or walk away, focusing market attention on the coming weeks and triggering disclosure obligations for shareholders with significant positions in either group.

Glencore Cancels 8.4 Million Shares in Ongoing Buyback from UBS
Positive
Jan 9, 2026

Glencore plc has repurchased 8.4 million of its own ordinary shares off-market from UBS AG on 8 January 2026 as part of its ongoing share buyback programme that began in July 2025. The shares, bought in Swiss francs with Swiss withholding tax deducted from the gross price, are being acquired for cancellation, reducing the number of shares in issue to 11.74 billion, while treasury shares remain unchanged at about 1.27 billion. The transaction, conducted under a pre-approved off-market buyback authority and a shareholder-approved buyback contract with UBS, underlines Glencore’s continued capital-return strategy ahead of its full-year 2025 results expected in February 2026, and may enhance earnings per share and support the stock by shrinking the free float. UBS’s related on-market trades, executed under EU market abuse rules, may not match exactly the number of shares Glencore ultimately buys for cancellation due to UBS’s mandate to manage its equity exposure under the contract.
